Pueblo Viejo Blanco Tequila
Pueblo Viejo · San Matías de Jalisco
Pueblo Viejo proves that integrity doesn't require a premium price tag. This is an honest, additive-free blanco that punches well above its weight class. It's the kind of tequila that makes you question what you're paying for elsewhere — direct, expressive, and built for both sipping and mixing.
Nose
Bright cooked agave and fresh-cut grass dominate, with citrus zest — lime and grapefruit — adding lift. A subtle mineral note grounds it, almost wet stone. Clean and direct.
Palate
Lean and peppery, with cooked agave sweetness balanced by a herbaceous bite. Mid-palate delivers a fleeting note of green apple and white pepper. The texture is slightly oily despite the modest proof, and there's an earthy underpinning that suggests genuine highland agave character.
Finish
Short to medium, with lingering pepper and a clean mineral fade.
